This press conference was an official press conference, and the reporter raised his hand to point the master of ceremonies. The first to be named was naturally a reporter who had a good relationship with Dream Chasing Entertainment, and Cai Xiaoyun of "Beijing Entertainment Letter" became the first. Cai Xiaoyun is now well-known in the journalist world, and has a group of fans since the beginning of the time.com film review.

He is beautiful, young and a famous college student, and he often gets some first-hand news from Dream Chasing Entertainment, so it is difficult to think about whether he is popular or not: "Director Shao, congratulations to Dream Chasing Entertainment for going farther and bigger and bigger." Can you tell us about what kind of movie Inception is? ”

Shao Shuaijun propped his hands on the table, and despite the fan, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This is a very complex concept, I define it as a contemporary action science fiction film that takes place in the structure of consciousness, it tells the story of a group of commercial spies who use people's dreams to steal trade secrets." When I watched "Sensory Games" and "Inception Detective", I thought, why not make a story that happens in a dream? Later, I watched Zheng Yuanjie's "Patent No. 3180", and I was inspired to conceive such a very cool and wonderful movie in my opinion. ”

Then a reporter from the Information Times asked: "So, what do you think about making such a $120 million film in a state where your last film was not ideal at the box office?" Can we understand it as not admitting defeat, or is it in a hurry to prove ourselves? ”

"You're two questions." Shao Shuaijun smiled, "I didn't want to prove myself in a hurry, or I didn't admit defeat, to be honest, "Night Watchman" is a good theme. It's a pity that I didn't make it better, it's a big pity. I should have been a little more stable and took the route of small costs to change the status quo little by little. But sometimes, inspiration comes and you don't grasp it, and then it will never belong to you. So, I decided to grab it, and I decided to shoot Inception. ”

A financial reporter was named and asked: "I want to ask Mr. Li, Dream Chase Golden Harvest is on the eve of the additional issuance of shares." I decided to make such a big film. There will certainly be more risks and uncertainties. Will this have an adverse impact on your IPO financing? ”

Li Xiuxiu replied: "In our market analysis, no matter how commercial Chengdu of "Inception" is, it will not have much impact on Dream Chasing. Dream chasing has laid a complete industrial chain. There are a lot of profitable projects. Our ability to resist risks is second to none in the domestic entertainment industry. ”

As the reporter who was close to the dream chased the question finished. The atmosphere also became more and more acute, and a reporter asked: "May I ask Mr. Shao, we know that you are in the commercial field of film." It's quite accomplished. Even though "The Night Watchman" didn't do well at the box office, you still developed the commercial future of the IMAX movie. So do you think you have ever discussed the artistry of films, especially the repeated failures at the Golden Horse Awards? ”

"Yes, my views on movies may be a bit extreme, but I found a very strange phenomenon, some movies seem to be born to be made to win awards. When we watch whether a movie should win an award, we will first ask, what is this movie about, whether it is about family ethics, whether it is about social phenomena, if not, oh, then it's a pity, you can't win the award. ”

Shao Shuaijun's resentment about the failure of the Golden Horse Awards is still there: "Don't you think this view is strange, this creates an illusion that those who win awards don't get the box office, and those who get the box office can't win the award." I don't want to argue about anything anymore, I think a movie that can stand the test of the public is a good movie, and if it is truly artistic, it will never fail to win the box office! ”

"Shao always thinks that "Painted Skin" has been treated unfairly?"

"I'm just elaborating on my personal thoughts, and I don't have any deeper meaning."

"The reputation of "The Night Watchman" is very poor, looking at all of Director Shao's movies, almost none of them have won important awards, Director Shao thinks this is your own factor, or is it someone else's factor?"

"I don't know, I'm just thinking about how to make a movie, I'm happy to win an award, but I'm comfortable if I don't win an award. It is gratifying to be able to create a box office, but if it fails, it is accepted calmly. ”

""The Night Watchman" is a rash trip to Hollywood, Director Shao, what do you think you can gain a foothold in Hollywood? Continue to shoot Inception on a big spree? ”

"I don't want to get a foothold in Hollywood now, I still want to make films in the mainland, I have inspiration, I think where I can make a movie, then I will shoot. That's why I chose to make a film and become a director. ”

"So, is Director Shao ready to fail?"

"No one will have smooth sailing, but I will continue to have great confidence in my films."

"The Golden Raspberry Award has been released, and one of the nominations for next year's Golden Sour Plum Worst Director Award belongs to Director Shao. This does not mean that in the dialogue with the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards, Director Shao has fallen behind. Can we also think that Director Shao, your movies are always pale and weak, and the artistry is too poor? Is there a big problem with your directing ability? ”

Shao Shuaijun looked at the other party's nameplate, "Chutian Metropolis Daily".

Suddenly, he didn't know how to answer, this question was actually not asked by the other party, and he himself was questioning it repeatedly. Even if he made classic movies and got a high box office, he was always one step away from the award. "Crazy Stone" only got a Golden Horse Award nomination for Best Director, and "Source Code" didn't even get a nomination.

Then "33 Days of Broken Love" hit a new high at the box office, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers became the foil, and "Painted Skin" was 200 million US dollars worldwide, and the four Golden Horse Awards were empty. It seems that everyone recognizes that he can make movies and auction movies, but they have never recognized his directing ability.

At first, he thought that this was a discriminatory commercial film, but Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang didn't have any ideology, it was not a taste, nonsense. But they can win awards, Cannes and Berlin are their home stadiums, and Shao Shuaijun can occasionally make up the numbers, but they are only nominated for minor awards.

After being silent for about ten seconds, Shao Shuaijun spoke: "I have been engaged in the directing industry for a short time, I can't presumptuously evaluate whether my movies are good or bad, I try my best to do something to make the movie look better." I didn't know how to make the film not look pale, I conceived, I filmed, the movie came out, the story I wanted to tell was clear, I felt the joy of being a director in the process, and I was satisfied. I don't think I'll ever think about artistry, I just want to tell a good story. ”

There's nothing more moving than telling a good story.

Shao Shuaijun felt that he should do this and be a real "storytelling director". (To be continued......)
